Sunday Igboho’s two-hour ultimatum prompts release of kidnapped pregnant woman in Oyo

Residents of Igboho in Oyo State erupted in celebration after a kidnapped family, including a pregnant woman, her children, and a sibling, were released following a two-hour ultimatum issued by Yoruba activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.    Videos circulating on social media showed large crowds singing, dancing, and rejoicing at the victims’ return to the community.    The release came shortly after Igboho addressed community leaders and traditional rulers, expressing outrage over rising kidnappings and insecurity in the area. He accused some elements within the Fulani community of involvement in the abductions and referenced a recent case where a ransom bearer was allegedly killed.    “I am Sunday Igboho. I am calm because my fathers asked me to be calm with you. Let this be the last time such a thing will happen,” he warned, while giving a two-hour deadline for the release of the victims.   Igboho had earlier shown restraint at the request of traditional rulers but threatened decisive action if his ultimatum was ignored. Details of exactly how the victims were freed remain unclear, but the swift development has been widely attributed to his intervention.

 Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Igboho, has issued a two-hour ultimatum to Fulani leaders to release the corpse of a pregnant woman who was kidnapped.   Suspected Fulani gunmen had kidnapped a pregnant woman and her sibling in the middle of the night in the Igboho area of Oyo State.   The gunmen were said to have demanded a ransom of N300 million but later reduced it to N150 million.   However, Igboho declared that the ransom should be paid by Fulani leaders in Igboho town, stressing that the victims will never pay the money.   Addressing Fulani leaders in Igboho Town, the Yoruba nation agitator, who spoke in Yoruba said: “You can’t be kidnapping in my father’s land and expect me to keep quiet, I’m an original indigene of Igboho land.   “You kidnapped a pregnant woman, and the person who brought the ransom, you killed him and killed the pregnant woman, for what? In Igboho? You people are not even afraid of me in my father’s land?   “This should be the last and it must end, my father has urged me to address you people patiently. What I’m fighting in other people’s land, you can’t come here and be doing it in my father’s land.   “You people kidnapped a pregnant woman, killed the person that brought the ransom and left one person, you are not even afraid of God, it’s your boys that did the job.   “Since you have been kidnapping here, have they ever abducted Fulani? No, it’s the Yorubas they have been kidnapping and it should be like that. This should be the last, and let us stay in harmony.   “I give you people two hours to release the woman, her children, and her sibling who were kidnapped in the middle of the night. If I don’t see them within the next two hours, we will face each other.   “When we first tracked that number, it led us to Alhaji’s residence and they removed them from there in the middle of the night to Bani’s compound, they took them to Baale’s compound, where they currently are.   “We don’t have any ransom to pay, you Fulanis should raise that ransom among yourselves and pay because we don’t have such money to pay. They started from N300 million and brought it down to N150 million.   “Fulanis should contribute the ransom and get the woman, children and her sibling released. If they are killed, we will have a problem.”
